London cab

My always faithful Contax 139Q and Zeiss Planar 50 f1.4. Tri-X and D76. Why am I writing all the tech specs? Maybe because I'm about to mix some D76 powder again...

Chemical heaven.

Calle Pereza (Laziness St.)

My favorite address in the world. Calle Pereza (Laziness St.) in Bubion (a little and nicely preserved village set in Las Alpujarras, part of Sierra Nevada Natural Reserve, in the South of Spain). The name matches the street beautifully. A place to get lost and do... nothing.

I'm so tired after such a busy week that I can't wait for the weekend. I'm looking forward to having some time to do lab work and process the film from the trip. Mario and I had our meeting with the Art Director at Xcaret and we're ready now to start editing the video and printing the pictures. Hope to post that one soon! As always... stay tuned!

Vladas

I've thinking for sometime now about shooting B&W film again, and today I spent the day browsing through old film scans. It's a long time that I don't shoot any film, at least a year and a half, and I do miss it. Sergio, a fellow friend photographer, donated me his lab a few months ago, so I guess that I don't have any excuses left!

So tomorrow I'll pay a visit to Sergio and see if he still has some D76 powder left... I'm lucky enough to have a freezer loaded with Agfa APX film, so it's time to give all that film a good use.

And just for nostalgy sake, I'm uploading an old portrait of Vladas, a much missed friend from my London days. BTW Does anybody remember Joe's Basement in Soho? That was the place where I used to take my film to be developed... Oh boy, how much do I miss those cool film days.
